Creator's Key Takeaways

This ship is a perfect blend between classic elegance and modern comfort.

I've dined in Holland America's Lido Market a few times, and it's one of the better buffets at sea, I would must say.

The food on board in America is generally quite good. I enjoy it.

Name me a more iconic departure location anywhere around the world. It's definitely right up there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you're in Australia, make sure that you consider the have it all package because it's well worth it in my opinion.
βœ“It's always worth going to have a conversation with the future cruise consultant just to see what they can offer.
βœ“Club Orange is always capacity limited... so do get in early to ensure that you don't miss out.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Privacy for promenade cabins β€” I have spoken to clients and a bit ing and aaring about having guests' door open up onto the public prominard but honestly it's not going to get that busy.
